    • Book 213, Dresses Sweater

    I originally processed this book for the shop back in 2016.  I decided the pictures and format were a bit under-par, so it's being reworked .... the book review as well!

    So, here is my next completed booklet - Star Book No 213, American Thread 
    Star Book 213 
    Cover picture, featuring His and her Diamond Patterned Pullover and Cardigan.   
     
     
    As shown on the cover, this pattern book was issued as a promotion to  American Thread Yarn brands Dawn Antron and Dawn Wintuk.
     
     
     
    Crochet Pullover Blouse Pattern in Picot Stitch
     
    The official name of the blouse -- The Lady is a Vamp !  (Definition:  a seductive woman who uses her sex appeal to exploit men).  This is a crocheted Picot Sweater, baby yarn soft and so feminine, sized S-M-L.     Remember this hairstyle !
     
    Crochet Jumper Pattern in Shell Stitch
     
    It's a Daisy - Crocheted Pullover Sweater, in pretty shells, with long  banded sleeves and below hip length. An easy crochet in Dawn Wintuk that is sized S-M-L. 
     
    knitted-mini-dress-pattern-chevron-stitch.jpg
     Chevron Knitted Tunic with rolled neckline, extended shoulders and scalloped mini-length.  It is sized S-M-L.   Believe this style would have been referred to as a go-go.   Not that far from todays' fashion; substitute the tights for leggings and a shorter style of boot.   
     
    More Raz Matazz - this one knitted.   The striped dress has short sleeves, a front and back yoke and mid thigh length.   
    The Lacy Eton is Knitted and is sized 32, 34 and 36.   Did you know the Eton was named for the style of jackets worn by the young women at Eton College, Windsor?   
     
    Diamond Stitch Knit Mans Pullover Pattern
    Mens Diamond Cardigan Pattern. 

     

     
    She Shell Cardigan - This cardigan features that wonderful cowl neckline, three quarter sleeves and the delicate shell pattern.   This is a crochet pattern sized S-M-L.

    Crocheted Dress Pattern in Small Medium Large
    And, gracing the back cover -- Raz Matazz Dress (didn't you always wonder how to spell that !).  This is a crocheted dress with a square neckline, elbow length flared sleeves and above knee length, sized S-M-L.

    The book gives us just 8 patterns, but patterns with great potential they are.  I hope you enjoyed the fashion show in this delightful American Thread, Star 213.  If there is a link under the picture, the pattern is available in the shop, should you be interested.  
     
    I'd love to hear your thoughts ... just leave a comment !   (I spend a considerable amount of time talking to myself here and always welcome some company).
